fastest

growing

journals in

English studies

"The ADE Bulletin is an invalu able guide to the best develop ments in the teaching of English in postsecondary education.

Everyone who cares about the

study of language and literature

Catharine R. Stimpson Director, MacArthur Fellows Program

(on leave from Rutgers University)

For more than twenty years, the ADE Bul

department administration, and the state of

the profession and job market, including

papers from the three regional seminars the

association sponsors each summer and

reports on the latest ADE and MLA surveys.

and 1,400 teachers and students currently

subscribe to the Bulletin; its circulation has

nearly doubled during the last six years.

"The ADFL Bulletin is the

essential network for all who

teach foreign languages in North

America. The relative strength

of foreign language programs across this continent is to a large

extent dependent on how well we are informed on what is going on in our discipline."

Mario J. Valdes University of Toronto

The ADFL Bulletin, published three times a year by the Association of

Departments of Foreign Languages,

reports on a broad range of programs at

colleges and universities and provides a

venue for discussion of developments in

foreign language teaching. The Bulletin

publishes articles on professional, peda

gogical, and governance issues, as well

as analyses of national surveys of post

secondary education in foreign lan

guages and literatures.

Special sections have focused on change in the profession, the art of chairing, the

graduate and undergraduate curriculum, international studies, and emerging

technologies and foreign language instruction. The Bulletin also features

information on ADFL activities,

upcoming conferences, and funding.

The Fall issue includes a directory of

ADFL members and a directory of use

ful addresses. The Bulletin invites essays

discussing such topics as faculty devel

opment, pedagogy, assessment, articula

tion, gender and minority issues in the

foreign language classroom, teacher

education, and the administration of

graduate and undergraduate foreign lan

guage programs on campus and abroad.
